Christian Sean returns with entrancing single All In Your Hands before releasing debut album Hallelujah Showers this Friday

After garnering attention nationally and abroad with singles Cold Water and Eventide in 2024, Christian Sean is back with All In Your Hands, the entrancing final single from Hallelujah Showers, his debut album to be released this Friday, January 31st. An album launch show will take place at L’Esco in Montreal on February 13th to celebrate the release of this first full-length record.

Across a backdrop of ghostly chanting, nimble beats and slithering bass lines, Sean casts a tale of righteous indignation that feels charged with spiritual purpose on All In Your Hands. It’s like a prayer, says the artist. About how the future of human life on earth may very well be in the hands of 100 or so corporations, but there’s an inevitable price to pay for that kind of power imbalance. A karmic retribution from forces beyond our control. The titular hook is hypnotic, recurring like an uplifting mantra, while the song’s titanic finale embodies the ferocity of nature restoring its own balance; a Great Flood of fuzzed-out 808s and flickering synth arpeggios that cleanse all in their path.

With his previous singles, Christian Sean garnered acclaim from international publications such as The FADER, Under the Radar, EARMILK and Iggy Magazine, building anticipation for the album; Exclaim! listed Hallelujah Showers as one of the 28 most anticipated Canadian albums of 2025, while RANGE and SOCAN Magazine hailed Christian as an artist to watch this year.

About Hallelujah Showers

Hallelujah Showers blends brash electronic ventures with ethereal vocal layering, resulting in a progressive pop sound that strikes the perfect balance between irresistible melodies and ambitious experimentation. From bass-heavy sample collages to hyperkinetic freak-outs, solemn spirituals and hypnotic hooks, its seven self-produced tracks are as eclectic as they are cohesive, immersive and melodic.

Inspired by left-field innovators such as Björk, Tirzah and Yves Tumor, as well as by mainstream pop masterminds like Max Martin, Timbaland, and Brian Wilson, Christian’s songcraft is the ideal vehicle for his symbolic, instinct-driven lyricism, further blurring the lines between the accessible and the abstract. On Hallelujah Showers, he explores the oscillation between judgment and forgiveness, using water as a recurring symbol for the invisible forces that bind humans interpersonally and the intangible, often unconscious content that gets passed between two individuals: emotion, intention, sexuality.

About Christian Sean

Christian Sean is a believer in the transformative power of pop music. As a kid, he was drawn to indie rock and left-field electronics, part of a Montreal scene that disavowed commerciality in favour of innovation. Over time, however, he surrendered to his true calling – making the best music of his life with a unique blend of melodic sensibilities and avant-garde experimentation.

Music runs deep in his soul. The early years of his childhood were nomadic – born in Switzerland to American parents who were members of a Christian cult, they travelled across Europe and the Southern states before his mother finally escaped and settled in Montreal. Granted a non-religious childhood, he revelled in freedom, and this independence rings out in his art.

Starting with the guitar at the tender age of 10, he was gifted his first sampler at the age of 14 – the hallowed Roland SP-404. Watching indie bands perform around Montreal, he started a group with a bunch of teenage friends, playing DIY shows at warehouse spaces and house parties. Like most teenage bands, it didn’t last long. When the group dissolved he moved to São Paulo, Brazil, spending six months in student dorms focusing on his music.

Emboldened, Christian Sean returned to Montreal and threw himself into the city’s music scene. Whether it was touring arenas in a pop star’s backing band or playing a left-field electronic show in an art gallery, he’d tackle each opportunity with complete commitment. Having spent the last few years honing his craft, he is now ready to reveal the fruits of his creativity with Hallelujah Showers, his debut album due out January 31st, 2025 via Bonsound.
